inches from temptation

inches from temptation...
to intoxication
to theft
to wrath
to try your own sex
and the opposite
to jealousy
to meaninglessness
to in-humaneness
oh how abnormal to be so normal

scenes from the street

On the road inside the street,
i saw some doors.

Lying there against the wall,
inviting us to come in.
To open and to be ushered
into world's denied and dreamed.
World's here and not.

And there was this one green door
lying alone against a green tree
making silent pleadings of nature and untouched gardens.

And in the distance i saw some minarets,
echoing old grandeur and new hopes.
